Running Form And Techniques


Shoulders Relaxed- When your running, do not move your shoulders too much but move them slightly. Do not run with your shoulders raised up . Run with your shoulders raised down and loose. Relax your shoulders as you run. This makes it easier to run without panicking.

90 Degree Arm- Make sure your arms are 90 degree angle. Do not run with your arms across the saggital plane of the body. Running with 90 degree angle arms will improve and boost up your running speed.

Cuffed hands- Run with your arms cuffed and loose. Do not grip your fist.

Run Tall- Keep your chest up and your trunk straight. Do not bent your trunk forward or backward. Run straight and tall.

Head Up- Run with your head looking up and straight ahead. Do not look down, as you run. Don't move your head from side to side.

Leg Strides- Pick up your feet when you run. Run with big strides for speed. Run with high and smooth knees.
